“Get off the house if you ain’t gonna pay!” The drunk landlord was getting on her nerves. Fanny pushed the door of her apartment open, it has been lonely without Eve, she’d missed her craziness and even her nightmares. She’d the room to herself but it wasn’t all like it with her. After that night, she couldn’t reach her or heard anything about her. She’d cut her completely out of her life. Someone, she called her best friend. The room was dark so she flipped the lights on and remained rooted to the ground with her back against the wall, staring at the single bed, there was a man on the bed with a cigarette in his mouth which he smokes effortlessly. Another was seated on the floor beside the bed. She’d been lost in her thoughts she looked back at her hands and saw her keys in her hands she didn’t open the door but the door was already opened. “You’re back.” The man wheezed smoke off his mouth and rise from the bed, he went to her and dust his hands on his jean before stretching t
“He’s watching ya through the window.” He mimics Moscow’s voice and scoffed. He picked out a black pants and black sleeves with a face cap. He wore them quickly and grabbed his car keys. “Sir there’s something...” Jacky tried to stop him with a phone on his hands. “Not now Jacky!” He warned and ran out of the house, got into the car and drove off the mansion. “Moscow you snake.” He looked ahead if he could see his black Mercedes Maybach Exelero. The car was making a U-turn, he tightened his fist on the sterling wheel and increased his speed after it but tried not to make Moscow know he was being followed. The car stopped at a famous fun fair. Wesley lowered himself in the car when they came out of the car. He laughed at Moscow. “Isn’t this so childish, why would he bring here and it was so far from home. Moscow you’re so stupid...” he laughed and lift his head up. They got into the fun fair and he came down from the car, adjust his face cap properly and walked in with his hand
“Sadie!” Sadie dropped her phone and had her head turned slightly to the door of the saloon. Hazel sauntered in with her short skirt and denim jacket. Waving her phone in the air. “I thought I would find you here.” Her saccharine voice rang through. Sadie looked back to the mirror. “You knew I was gonna be here, what’s the fuss about.” She picked up her phone and was scrolling down with her long nails. Hazel ignored her and took an empty seat beside her. “You haven’t heard?” Hazel pursed her lips and blinked her eyes at Sadie. “Heard what, be gentle with my hair will you?” She snapped. “Sorry, ma’am.” She turned her gaze back to Hazel. “Heard what?” “Guess whose gonna be on face up a magazine?” Sadie raised a brow at her. “I run face up, if it’s not it couldn’t be anyone else,” Sadie answered her nonchalantly. Hazel laughed at her reply, noticing Sadie’s glare, she placed a hand over her mouth. “Wesley’s wife.” “I’m Wesley’s wife.” She stopped the girl from dressing her h
Eve's eyelids flapped open, she turned slowly on the bed, she was the only one in it. She rose and rubbed her eyes, another day it was. Standing, she strode to the calendar which she pasted on the wall, taking the marker from the table and stroking it. Another day was gone, and after three months, she was gonna leave. “Eve you’ve to be strong.” Wrapping her hands around herself and walked into the washroom, staring at herself in the mirror She itched the side of her neck. She didn’t remember having changed her clothes last night, how come she was in her nightie? She crossed a hand over her chest. “Wesley, was it you?” She couldn’t trust that man, he was capable of anything.“Ms. Eve, breakfast.” “I’ll be downstairs, you don’t have to bring them here!” she yelled from the bathroom, Jacky was just a bodyguard and now Wesley had made him a cook. He should’ve just employed one, it wasn’t so difficult. “Can you find another cook, Jacky?”“Boss doesn’t trust anyone and not everyon
Eve's jaw dropped to the ground, staring at him, did she hear him right? She was with him all along and had no clue who he was.“Surprised?” He brought her jaw together and held her face with his warm hands. “A little bit.” She straighten up, and his hands left her face. “So if you’re gonna kill a man like Dust, you might not need a gun.” “What do I use then?” “Your hairpin.” He stretched and took them from her hair, her hair fell on her shoulders. He held the pin and pressed them to her hands. “This is what you’ll do.” He led her hands to the side of his neck. “You stab here.” He placed the pin in the spot, Eve's hands shook lightly when he let go of her hands and she was aiming the pin at his neck. She quickly withdrew her hands and kept the hairpin on the table. “Don’t forget that.” He warned Eve and nodded curtly while staring at her hands. Wesley pushes the chair back and stood up. “Have your breakfast.” He packed the papers from the table and turned to leave. “Wait.” S
Wesley held Eve while they walked back to the car because her steps were unsteady and she might fall. He didn’t say anything to her because he had nothing to say to her. She was silent throughout the ride brooding deeply in her thoughts. He drove around for a while and lower the car window Eve had her right hand out of the window feeling the gush of wind over her hand. He stopped the car when it was sunset at grand view park. He opened the car door for her and she stepped out of it. “C’mon.” She followed him to the back of the car and they sat on it. “I’ve ordered some pizza.” He was trying to have her say something she simply nodded and lay back in the car. “It’s nice doesn’t it.”He lay his head on his hands that were spread behind the back of his head. Watching the round red ball does down the horizon. She turned and faced him while he stares at the clouds. “The moon is gonna be out soon, you might wanna see how it...” he stopped when he saw her staring at him. “What? Is th
Fanny withdrew her clothes from the wardrobe, hurling them into the luggage. The side of her face had a few bruises in them. Her left eye was swollen and had dark circles around it. Taking out all her clothes, she saw Eve's clothes by the side of hers and dumped them on the bed. She’d then packed separately from her bag and went back to her luggage and closed them, taking them off the bed. “Are you leaving...” Fanny inhales the cigarette he was smoking beneath the last fleet of stairs. “...it’s still early.”“You should stop smoking, you might eventually die from it.” She had her bag over her shoulders and sighed. “That’s harsh Fanny.” He butted the ash of the cigarette on the tray beside him, grinning. “You’re leaving just as early as Eve had left, but you’re leaving with your luggage.” He took out another stick and a lighter. Fanny stopped in front of him and dip her hands into her pocket, giving him an envelope. “Yes.” She adjusts her face cap so he doesn’t see the scar on he
Her eyes went to the floor and saw red stains on it. She stared over at Jacky and back at the floor. Jacky looked back at her with furrowed brows. The red stains were on the stairs as well. Eve let go of Jacky’s arm. And ran up the stairs. Her hands were shuddering when she got to his door and placed a faint knock on it. “You’ve been hurt Wesley, let me in” She banged her fist on the door but the door was locked from the inside and she won’t able to do it. “Wesley, please.” She cried at the door but he didn’t budge. She could hear his faint groans. She hits the door with her fist continuously but he answered not. “Go away, Eve.” He walked to the door and held the handle, he was gonna let her in, not when he was in pain. “Why won’t you let me in? Because you’re hurt. Are you embarrassed that you got hurt?” She sobs softly at the door. “So we can only laugh together while you cry alone? Can’t I share in your pains too? Can’t I be part of it and soothe you the best way I can.” H
“Her water broke, so we were at the hospital.” Wesley panicked over the phone. He had been pacing in front of the room she was taken in. He didn’t know how long it was gonna be. “Calm down, I’m gonna be there soon,” Vero replied over the phone. “I’m trying to, I just can’t. It’s been hours in there.” His hands went over to the wall and placed them on it. He didn’t know how long but he knew he had been outside the door long enough.“You just have to calm down and everything would be fine.” How could he calm down when he could hear her painful grunts from the room? “I’ll be there soon. Don’t worry it takes a lot of time since it’s her first. I had a similar experience when I had you.” She was trying to soothe him but none of that was working. He couldn’t get away from the anxiety he was feeling. “I’ll be waiting.” He wished he won’t have to do with the sound. He ruffled his hair and kept his phone back in his pocket. He faced the wall again and then moved over to have his seat. H
He smiled at her and placed the ring tenderly on her finger. She stared at it, with a smile on her face. He got up on his knees, the light went out again, and the candlelight was lit and that surrounding her was the symbol of love which she didn’t know was in there at first. She couldn’t hold back the tears, she let them slide down her face. He held her face close and kissed her on the lips. His hands were over her waist as he held her close to him. Her hand was wrapped around his neck. He spun her around with a smile spread across his face. He couldn’t ask for more than this. “I love you, honey, I love you so much.”He placed her down on her feet, and smiled broadly, he couldn’t express how much happiness he felt, this was the life he never thought he was gonna have. But there he was, with the woman he loved, which had got him to believe in so much that he can. “We should have some champagne, come on have a seat and let’s eat.” She wasn’t sure she would be able to place a spoo
“It’s the day we’ve been waiting for!” Parker clapped his hands as he giddy followed Wesley to the office. “Today we are launching the Gemma car yep!” Wesley chuckled at his excitement, he seems more excited than he did. “Come on everyone, we’re having a party after this!” He yelled at the workers. And they cheered him. “...and Sir is gonna pay for our dinner.” He bowed with hands stretched out to him. Wesley laughed and got into the office. Parker hurried in before he shut the door. He walked up to him and stood by his side.“I haven’t seen you this happy over the month Sir. Well, I guess...” he winked. “Did you get what I ask you to?” Wesley ignored him. “Absolutely!” He dip his hands into his pocket and brought out the small box and dropped them at the table. “It’s the perfect one for you, you trust me she’s gonna love it.” He said with a lot of confidence in his voice assured that she was gonna like it. Wesley grabbed the box and opened it and then he stared at the glitte
Wesley left with a smile on his face. It was only three days away and he was waiting for how successful it was gonna be. He twirled the car keys in his hands and walked to the car. He was getting a car, he got into the car before he took out his phone from his pocket and dropped them at the empty side after picking up the call. “Boss,” he called. “Have you got it done, what is the report?” He ignited the car and drove out of Herbert valley. “Crystal clear.” He replied almost immediately.“You did well.” He commended with a straight face. “Thank you, Boss” he could tell he was smiling with the sound of his voice. “I’ll get you out of there and make sure you don’t get caught.” He told him strictly. “Thank you, boss.” He bowed as if Wesley could see him bowed at him. “I’ll come over or if I can’t send someone to have you bailed out. And you’ll get out immediately” “Thank you, boss.” He bowed over again. Wesley ended the call, he knew he was grateful because of how his voice soun
“....you probably didn’t know because he won’t get to tell you anything about it. Every minute of his life should be taken as precious as a year. what I treated him for wasn’t just any sickness, he saw him collapse a lot of times and the blood that was out of his nostrils at most times. It’s because of the brain tumor. If you ever leave his side one day and I might not be there. Don’t forget you might not get to see him again if it deteriorated. He didn’t want to know about it and he kept it a secret from you. Because you would only get worried about. I know if you find out the truth it’s gonna hurt you but what about the times you spent with him? I loved you but then I found out your happiness wasn’t with me, I couldn’t make you as happy as he does. He has fewer years to live if the brain tumor remained as it is for now. You shouldn’t make the decision you’re gonna regret all your life because of the one mistake he made. Everyone deserved a second chance. It’s either now or ne
“...she lied to my face, she told me she wasn’t pregnant and that she got rid of it. I just heard her say she’s fucking pregnant to Moscow!” He was yelling, he was so pissed about what he had found out. He stretched out the paper to her, and she took them where she sat on the couch.“Tell me what that is?” She narrowed her gaze at the paper.“This is a twin baby.” She muttered. “She’s having twin!” He palmed his forehead and faced the wall. “She wasn’t gonna tell me about you. She was ready to leave without me finding out about them, she was ready to leave and might not be back here!” He punched the wall with his fist. “I won’t have known about them, I would never have got to see them.” He cried with his fist still on the wall. She stood up and went to him, and she stood in front of him. “...I need to get them back, I would go down on my knees if I had to.” He had done that before to her, he went on his knees but she left him still. “I don’t know what I’m gonna do to have her b
“I know you’re mad at me that I haven’t been able to pay a visit to you. I’ve been so occupied. Don’t take that as an excuse, damn I’m sorry Moscow.” Over her hands was a rose. She dropped them at his tomb.“Never in my wildest dream did I think of meeting you here, I never had the thought of it. Not once.” Her hands went over his name on the tomb with a gloomy face. “You ended up this way because of me. I owed you a lot, I never got to say I was thankful for being part of my happy memories. I valued whatever friendship we had.” Tears slide from her eye. “Yes, friendship.” She laughed with the tears coming out. “You were like the brother I looked up to, that you’re gonna protect me, you’re always gonna be there. All my beck and call You never once failed. I wanted you to be an uncle to my kids. I wanted them to meet you.” Her hands went over her stomach. “We did it. I’m a successful heiress. And I’m planning on leaving the county soon, my documents are all ready.” She stood up fro
“Sir you’ve been working for days straight without having any chance to rest or have a break, you just go out of the hospital.” Parker was learning the door, his eyes seemed tired and dull. “We don’t have any more time, we have just a week to prepare for it. In a few days we would be launching the cars, I don’t want any errors, there shouldn’t be any mistakes.” He points his pen at him. “Go back to work.” He had the pen directed to the door. “Another all-nighter?” He palmed his forehead. “I’ve got a family Sir.”“Won’t they feed, you need to work? You can choose to quit.” He flipped the pages of the file and continued working on them. Parker sighed and withdrew from the door. There was nothing he was gonna say to him that would make him change his mind about them leaving the office. Wesley looked up when he was done. And dropped his pen, he was tired but he couldn’t admit it. He had to make it work. He went to the window and stared at the working. Was he stressing them too much?
“You’re Grey?” He whispered with his eyes widened. He touched the tip of his sleeve if he wasn’t seeing a ghost or something. “It’s you.” He blurts out and fell back from the chair. Wesley stopped whistling, he got up from his chair, and went over to him when he fell. He lift him by the collar and forced him back on the chair. His body shuddered vigorously at his touch. “How are you alive?” “Someone saved me.” The one friend he would never forget. He placed a hand over his chair. Staring into his eyes. “How did you become Wesley, how did you...?” His voice quaked. “I was surprised too how it happened but I was burning with hatred to have you down on your knees in front of me. Not as Wesley but as Grey. Don’t worry about the cops they won’t come to get you soon. You still have a lot of time with me.” He smirked and let go of his hands that were on his chair. Just today he was gonna live as Grey Hansford, the poor boy from San Francisco. Tonight he would be the pushover Grey tha
